Is there some canting between the clover on the coat of arms (in German,
Klee) and the name of Kleve?
Ivan Sache, 25 Jun 2003
Yes, on this
page is written: "The arms connect the canting (Klever) clover-leaves
for Kleve with the old lordly sign of the Count".
In the Lower-German ("Platt-Deutsch"- vernacular "Klever"
(Dutch: klaver) = clover.
